Team members & roles
Invite your accountant or co-founder to your Estonian company books with Owner and Member roles controlling billing, settings and team administration.
Your company in Arvello doesn't have to be a solo act. Settings → Members is where you bring in a co-founder, an accountant or anyone else who works in the books, each with their own login — far better than sharing a password and hoping.
Everyone you invite sees the same company data; the role controls what they can administer.
Inviting someone
Press Invite Members, enter their email address, pick a role, and send. You can add several invitations in one go with Add another one. Each person gets an email with a link to join the company — if they don't have an Arvello account yet, they create one on the way in.
Invitations wait in the Pending Invites list until accepted. From there you can resend one that's been missed, renew one that's expired, or delete one sent in error. Inviting requires an active subscription, and your plan sets how many team members a company can have — more on that below.
Roles: Owner and Member
There are two roles:
- Owner — full control of the company's administration: company settings, inviting people, changing roles, removing members, and managing the plan and billing.
- Member — works in the books day to day — invoices, expenses, banking, payroll, VAT, reports — and can edit company settings and send invitations, but can't manage billing, change anyone's role or remove members.
One person additionally carries the Primary Owner badge: whoever created the company (or later received ownership). Only the primary owner can transfer ownership to someone else — it's confirmed by typing TRANSFER — or delete the company entirely.
💡Inviting your accountant
Changing a role or removing someone
From the member's row in the list, Change Role moves them between Member and Owner, and Remove from Account takes them out of the company. Removal is immediate — they lose access straight away and need a fresh invitation to come back. You can only manage people whose role sits below your own, so Members can't demote Owners.
People can also leave of their own accord, from the danger zone on the Settings → Settings page.
Team size and your plan
How many people can join depends on the plan: Solo includes 1 team member (that's you), Growth up to 3, and Business up to 10. There's no per-seat fee for team members — when the team outgrows the plan, the route to more seats is a higher plan. See Plans & billing.
One distinction worth keeping straight: the €5 per person add-on you may have seen on the pricing page is for payroll people — the employees and board members you pay through People — not for team members who log in. Your accountant on the team costs nothing extra; a sixth employee on the payroll is what the add-on covers.
